OVERVIEW

ENGLISH

Overview

The brief introduction and components of the SuperSign Lite/W/V are described below.

Introduction to SuperSign

The SuperSign is a network-based solution for digital advertising communications developed by

LG Electronics. It is a program for integrated management of the SuperSign solution, providing

support for digital media creation and management, content deployment, video play, and remote

control. The SuperSign W solution includes the Display, SuperSign Player (hardware and soft-

ware), and SuperSign Manager as its components.

Components of SuperSign

Display

The Display is connected to the SuperSign Player (media player) to display advertising content,

and supports most LCD monitors/TV displays using the LG RS232C protocol. You can control

monitor/TV functions (e.g. brightness, resolution, and sound) of the monitors/TVs supporting LG

RS232C protocol by using the SuperSign Manager.

SuperSign Player

The SuperSign Player consists of a media player (hardware), and the SuperSign Player software

which is installed on the media player. The media player comes in two types, box type (NC/

NA1000 series) and a built-in type (NC/NA2000 series).

SuperSign Manager

The SuperSign solution provides the SuperSign Manager, an all-in-one management program

that allows you to manage the display and media player, and create and distribute media. Super-

Sign Manager is embedded with a client-side PC Editor which is capable of creating and editing

content, and a server-side Web Editor.

Using the SuperSign Player

Signage Mode (Video Mode)

If the Media Player is turned on and the operating system is booted completely, SuperSign Player

runs automatically. The SuperSign Player auto-runs schedules when it starts. The Signage mode

refers to a mode in which pre-distributed videos are played on a schedule.

• SuperSign Player is a built-in software program installed in the Media Player.

Start the Media Player and check whether SuperSign Player has been installed.

If the initial window of the SuperSign Player does not appear, check that the monitor is

turned on.

If the monitor is turned on, make sure that the cables between the Media Player and the

monitor are properly connected.

• When the PowerDVD is removed from the SuperSign Player with the PowerDVD SE

installed, videos encoded to H.264, MPEG-2 and WMV are played without hardware

acceleration.

• Using a transition effect on a full-HD picture, or more than two pictures, may slow down

the speed of play.

• When you change the time zone in Windows, restart the SuperSign Player to apply the

changes.
